Kuala Lumpur: Raja Nazrin Shah, the vocalist of the band SOG, was taken aback by the unexpected popularity of a spontaneous video featuring a question-and-answer session with his brother, Raja Nazmin Shah. The clip, which went viral on social media, has drawn widespread admiration for their quick thinking and sharp responses.
Raja Nazrin, also known as Raja Nazrin Shah Raja Azaham, 39, shared that the video was recorded casually without any intention of it becoming a viral sensation. It was merely a routine Q&A session conducted before a performance.
I was surprised when the video went viral. Many people commented โhow smart they areโ and some even asked how they could connect to have their children taught by us. Some also said we answered so quickly that our brains are faster than they thought.

Speaking at the launch of SPOTLIGHT KL CONVENTION CENTRE at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre recently, Raja Nazrin mentioned that most of the comments were positive and added cheer to his day, even though there were too many to read individually.
"Reading the comments was truly entertaining. Sometimes, the way netizens comment is so creative that we are surprised ourselves. Reading them makes our day brighter, even if there are hundreds or thousands of comments," he added.

Raja Nazrin clarified that the video was filmed spontaneously after a soundcheck, without any script. They simply answered questions as they would in a typical interview.
"At that time, after the soundcheck, they asked questions, and we just answered naturally. There was no plan to make a video. It all happened spontaneously, and we never expected it to reach this level. Many thought we were stern, but seeing the video surprised them with our way of answering. In the end, people will judge based on what they see first. Once they get to know us, perhaps that perception will change," he said.
